While undergoing a procedure on her throat this morning, Joan Rivers stopped breathing and suffered cardiac arrest. She was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital this morning and her daughter Joan Rivers is flying to NYC to be with her mom.

I hope she gets better soon. I love Joan Rivers. Even as a kid I knew she was important. She told jokes like men, but from a woman's point of view. There was nobody else like her.Now, you can't move for all the Joan inspired comediennes. And that's a good thing.

Well shit, I can't help but love her, she was a great comedian and was instrumental in bringing women into comedy. HHy husband watched the celebrity apprentice with her on it and she was amazing - really worked hard. As she's gotten older she's gotten a bit too snarky sometimes, but still love. Hope she pulls thru.

Argh. I am a Joan fan. On either the last episode, or one prior to that, she made a joke about always being prepared (as in attire) and then she said, "that's why I always where this " and she revealed inside her shoe she was wearing a toe tag. I thought, "uh Nooo. Bad karma".

I hope she's okay too. She does seem pretty tough. I know she's pretty dang smart and also pretty nice ( aside from her snarky humor).

I loved her documentary "Pieces of Me". It really just showed that the funniest people are usually the most depressed people. Hope she makes it but if she doesn't that's fine too because she had a great run.

If you watched the show Melissa would try to talk her out of more plastic surgery every time. And Joan would go ahead and do it. This is Melissa's nightmare though she is still alive at least. All surgery is risky and Joan is over 80.

She was just on The Shopping Channel - she reminds me of my dad, over 80 but still sharper and more active than some 20 year olds. Hope she will be OK. She is indeed one of the ultimate fighters in Hollywood.

I remember her saying the scariest thing she faced was if there was a day in her calendar with nothing on it. It would mean that no one wanted her anymore. Very talented, super hardworking lady. She was on The Shopping Channel up here just last week or 2, hope she's okay.

I would hope she recovers from this. She deserves a better exit. I know she used to be very funny but now she is very mean spirited. Perhaps she will recover and get a renewed appreciation for life. At least I hope so. But at 80 years old this sort of thing is very bad

I think she about to be. The plastic parts will Live Forever tho! No more tears ppl, chin up! Its only the neck down that will turn to dust...the neck up will have the shelf life of a twinkie (2000yrs/give or take)

Would you have all the stand-up comedians stop working then. Were Lenny Bruce or Richard Pryor all sweetness and light. No. George Carlin was a master at snark on a wider level. I think they also get crankier as they get older. I saw him locally before he died and man he was much much snarkier, funny but took me by surprise a bit. Probably because I'd always seen him on TV vs live and he hated censorship.

All the talk show comedians that make fun of people everyday, the gossip columnists and the gossip sites like this one and all the people who comment on them, let alone Twitter and Facebook.

She is one of the hardest working people in the biz. And super nice. I have a friend that sometimes styles her and she's even worn some of my friends fashions. I do hope she will be alright. Thoughts and prayers for her and her family.

I love her. I saw her in Vegas years ago and she was hilarious. Her books are good too. She struck me as someone who kept working because they were always afraid of being broke. Like Barbara Walters. They knew what it was like to struggle and fight in a "man's world" and they were never going back there. I hope she pulls through, the jokes she'd have after this would be too funny. Can we tawk?

Honestly, I don't think she will make it, simply because of her age. My guess is they are keeping her on life support until Melissa can get there.

I appreciate what she did for female comedians. (Always thought Johnny Carson was a jealous old thing to ban her.) She's talked a lot about all the sexist shit she had to go through, which is infuriating and interesting at the same time. I recall she was not allowed to say the word "pregnant" on-air when she was pregnant with Melissa. She had to say, "I am expecting the pitter-patter of little feet"!

Joan Rivers' condition has been upgraded to stable, hours after the 81-year-old comedienne and host of E!'s Fashion Police was hospitalized for complications from throat surgery, while more details about her health scare have been revealed.

She was rushed to a hospital in New York City on Thursday after she stopped breathing while undergoing a minor endoscopic procedure at a medical clinic, a source told E! News.

Her daughter and frequent co-star, Melissa Rivers, 46, and Melissa's son, Cooper, 13, have flown to the city to be by Joan's side.

"They were putting a scope down her throat to check her vocal cords," the source said. "She stopped breathing."

"This was not major surgery," the source said, adding that Joan was sedated while undergoing the operation and that it is unclear what medication was used."

Cheryl, I never thought saw, she's still sad about what happened with Johnny, who was the backstabber there really. The woman got her own show, a WOMAN and she was the first. Of course she takes the job. Johnny never spoke to her again. He's a prick.

I was afraid to say something negative, but I'm kind of glad that Jerry and Amore let me know that I'm not alone in really not caring. That might make me a horrible, horrible person, but then again, so is she. *shrug*

I don't blame Joan for becoming more negative as the years and decades went by. Think of the changes that she's witnessed in showbusiness. In her youth, only the most exceptional could be famous. Exceptionally talented or exceptionally charismatic or exceptionally beautiful (and in very rare cases, all three).As Fran Lebowitz said, we now have "too much democracy in the culture, not enough democracy in the society".

She used to be really funny. She changed a lot after her husband died, a lot more acerbic and less humorous, and is even more so after all her plastic surgeries. I don't watch her on red carpets but I do know she can be quite nasty with a lot of people. Wish her well, and hope she recovers soon.

I know that most people in her field (comedians) have a great amount of respect for her. People who are saying these negative and hateful things about her are only thinking of "Fashion Police Joan" who is a snarky bitch, a personality she crafted for the show. That is only a small piece of a much greater body of work that spanned decades before E! was even on television. She is a legend and will be greatly missed when she is gone.
